I’d argue that it’s more convenient to have clouds connect for recording and storage purposes but so many cameras come with SD cards built in now that the cloud storage isn’t even really an advantage anymore either.
A security camera with only local storage has a pretty obvious flaw that the incriminating footage can be more easily stolen and/or destroyed by the perpetrator.
DVR doesn't take up much space in the safe. And the heat produced helps keep humidity down.
Sure, but that's not a comparable alternative to the convenience of a turnkey, cloud solution. There's a reason they're so popular.
